Chapter 31 - 31: Return to Liuli with Full Load



Under the cold moonlight, all the crew members on the Cangyuan vessel had red eyes and were panting heavily.

Even now, they felt as if they were in a dream.

Sixteen large boxes filled with gold and silver treasures were quietly placed on the deck.

Some of them were still so incredulous that they pinched themselves. After feeling the pain, they fixated their eyes on the treasures scattered on the ground, unwilling to look away for even a moment.

Mr. Li did not boast!

He really was able to bring back a shipload of treasures for everyone!

However, this “shipload” was far beyond their imagination!

The various jade artifacts, gold and silver, and jewelry in the boxes were dazzling, making all of them rub their eyes in disbelief.

Having spent half their lives fishing at sea, even their wildest dreams were incomparable to the fantastical scene before them.

Zhang Haobo felt completely blank-minded.

“It’s actually true, that guy really can find treasures sunk at the bottom of the sea! Such ability, such ability…”

Having lived on LiuLi Island for over twenty years, Zhang Haobo naturally understood that besides Immortal Teachers, some ordinary mortals also possessed various incredible abilities.

For instance, the ability to communicate with birds in the sky, the ability to foresee disasters, the ability to hold their breath and navigate under the sea for a long duration, and abilities like Manager Zhao’s – which allowed him to distinguish between the real and unreal.

Nevertheless, these peculiar beings were few in number. They were either entrusted with heavy responsibilities on various islands or were taken as servants by Immortal Teachers to Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

It was a rarity to meet such persons.

Who would have thought that Li Fan is one of these extraordinary beings!

Zhang Haobo suddenly realized that Li Fan had just recently moved to LiuLi Island. Could he have been forced to migrate here because the island where he lived originally was destroyed by a storm? No wonder, Manager Zhao viewed him differently even though he was a newcomer!

Everything makes sense now!

At this point, Zhang Haobo couldn’t help but regret terribly.

“Zhang Haobo, oh Zhang Haobo. You had a rare opportunity to befriend someone influential, yet not only did you fail to seize it, you laughably regarded him as competition for your small fleet, ” Zhang Haobo’s regret grew larger with each passing thought. He wished he could give himself a couple of slaps on the face.

“No, it’s not acceptable, I must go and apologize immediately, right now! No matter where he goes, such an extraordinary person will always be a guest of honor. If he holds grudges against me for my actions a few days ago…”

Zhang Haobo shuddered at this thought and decided to go to Li Fan’s room to apologize.

“Hm, is it just my illusion? Why do I find that these boxes don’t seem to be soaked for a long time?”

“Strange indeed, we didn’t see any sunk ship when we were salvaging.”

“Perhaps aquatic currents brought them here? Or maybe they were swept into the sky by a storm, and later dropped into this part of the sea?”

“Why worry about all these? The treasures are real, and that’s enough.”

Amidst the murmuring of his crew members, Zhang Haobo left in a hurry.

In his room, after seeing Zhang Haobo off with a pleasant demeanor, Li Fan relaxed his weary body.

Of course, he was the one who threw those sixteen boxes of treasures into the sea.

He had come to a deserted sea area alone, unrolled the Tai Yan Boat, moved a small portion of the treasures he had obtained from Da Xuan onto the boat, threw them into the sea, and finally sent a signal to the crew members of Cangyuan vessel to come and salvage them.

The boxes were indeed heavy. Had it not been for his constant cultivation of “The Mysterious Yellow Heart-Purifying Mantra” over the past few months, and the nourishment of the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Energy, his strength would not have increased enough to manage the task alone.

Even so, Li Fan felt completely exhausted after completing the task.

“This is the first time I did a pre-emptive strike. I made a big show. From now on, I won’t have to throw so much,” Li contemplated.

As for Zhang Haobo…

Li Fan did not even take him into consideration in the first place.

To Zhang Haobo, the position of the captain of the fleet is his life’s foundation. Naturally, he would react if someone were to abruptly try to snatch it away.

Moreover, his challenge was so naive and ridiculous to Li Fan.

If it were Li Fan, he would have pretended to get along well with him for several days, not making any moves. Then, when they were out in the deep sea and his guard was down, he would sneak into his room under the cover of darkness and kill him.

He would then dump the body into the vast sea. His death would be unknown.

Even if he truly possessed some special ability that could find treasures, but having just arrived at LiuLi Island with no foundation, who would be willing to stand up for him, a stranger and furthermore, a deceased one, over a captain who has a group of loyal subordinates? Who would risk falling out with the latter?

Even if Manager Zhao would punish him for it, at most, he would lose his position as a captain.

After all, there is no concept of “an eye for an eye” on LiuLi Island.

All the Immortal Teachers cared about was a steady supply of resources from LiuLi Island.

Therefore, in Li Fan’s view, there was simply no reason not to act.

Unfortunately, Zhang Haobo is not Li Fan.

He doesn’t have the courage to do so.

When all is said and done, he is just a simple fisherman.

The fleet that he values so much is merely a small stepping stone in Li Fan’s plan.

“How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?” Li Fan shook his head, put it out of his mind, and quietly focused on cultivating the Heart-Clearing Mantra.

Having acquired the treasures, Cangyuan vessel didn’t fish anymore. They immediately turned around and journeyed back to LiuLi Island.

After all, the harvest from this voyage was so large, no crew member could feel at ease until they safely returned to land.

With full speed ahead, they spotted LiuLi Island in just two days.

“After going back, don’t dock the ship immediately. Liu San, you need to discreetly get off the ship and notify Manager Zhao at his residence, telling him to send people to count the treasures personally,” Zhang Haobo sternly instructed his crew members.

If no accidents happened, within their voyage team, they should be the ones with the most earnings this time.

According to the rules, they would get fifty percent of it!

Who could guarantee that there would be no incidents of embezzlement or miscalculation if outsiders were doing the counting?

They would feel extremely heartbroken even if there was a slight deficit.

They did not trust anyone but their own people.

The crew members all nodded in agreement. As they saw the regular counting boat approaching from the island, they immediately went on alert.

“Zhang Haobo, what do you mean by not letting us board?”

It seemed that Zhang Haobo had conflicts with the person from the other side which enraged him a bit.

Zhang Haobo, however, paid no attention to him.

Seeing no response from Zhang Haobo, the man retorted even more scornfully, “Judging from the buoyancy of your ship, you probably didn’t get anything this time. It seems your days as the captain are over. If you really can’t make your living, come to my boat. I guarantee you won’t starve to death!”

Upon hearing their captain being insulted, the crew of Cangyuan vessel was immediately furious, ready to retort.

But Zhang Haobo stopped them.

He ignored whatever the man said afterward, simply waiting for the personnel of Manager Zhao to come over.

“It seems Zhang Haobo has his reasons for being able to securely hold the position of the captain of Cangyuan vessel. He is not as bad as I thought. However, his background and experiences have limited him,” mused Li Fan from the corner, nodding approvingly, as he watched the scene unfold.

The abnormal situation at the dock attracted a lot of spectators who pointed at Cangyuan vessel and whispered among themselves.

Luckily, the standoff didn’t last long, and soon after, Manager Zhao personally arrived with his team..
